Andy's POV

How could Niall say that?!? I told him how nervous I get preforming!! UGHHHH Niall has too big a mouth..... And heart.....

I'm broken out of my thoughts when Simon C. says "Well, Andrea, can you sing?"

I'm about to reply when Niall does for me."Yes, shes fantastic! I walked in on her singing the other night. Gosh, she just completely blew me away!"

"Niall, that's sweet but I'm not really THAT good!" I say, trying to hide the blush that's creeping onto my face.

"Well, Andrea, why don't you sing something for us!" Simon says. I wonder why he's still calling me Andrea..... I told him Andy was fine...

"Uhm, I uhhh, I just uhm... Wo-wouldn't really know what to uhhh s-sing." I say. Gosh, I need to stop stuttering! 

Then Harry says "Hold up. Andy," He says "You can sing?" 

"Uhh, well, uhm, I uhh, I guess sorta." I reply.

"KAY, Well." Simon starts "Andrea, will you please sing something for us?"

"Well, what do you want me to sing?" I ask, my voice suddenly a lot more confident.

"How about...... Rolling in the Deep?" Niall says "It'll show how strong your voice it."

"Uh, okay." I say. 

Then, I see Niall grab a guitar from another room and start playing.

"There's a fire, starting in my, heart. Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me-" I start, but am soon cutoff by Simon saying "Louder. Start again."

"Andy, take a deep breath, you're amazing, remember that" Niall whispers to me.

I nod back and he starts playing again.

" There's a fire starting in my heart, 

Reaching a fevered pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.

Finally, I can see you crystal clear, 

Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare, 

See how I'll leave with every piece of you, 

Don't underestimate the things that I will do. 

There's a fire starting in my heart, 

Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark." I begin singing, this time my voice strong. My eyes are closed as I continue singing.

"The scars of your love remind me of us, 

They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.

The scars of your love, they leave me breathless, 

I can't help feeling, 

We could have had it all,  

Rolling in the deep, 

You had my heart inside your hand, 

And you played it to the beat"

I stop singing and look around the room. Everyone's jaws are dropped. Except Niall's. He's just looking at me smiling.

I wasn't that bad..... Was I? I can feel tears coming into my eyes, threatening to spill.

Then Simon says "Andrea, darling whats wrong?" 

"Was... Was I that bad?" I say, my voice now coming across shaky.

"No! No, no darling, you were FANTASTIC!" He answers.

I was actually...... Good? I can't believe THE Simon Cowell thinks I was good.

I mean. I've always loved singing. And I used to post videos on Youtube... But then, I started getting bullied. People used to call me names... Write rude posts on my videos.... So... I just stopped singing... Well, i did sing, but only for myself. I never sang to ANY other people....

"Really?" I ask.

"ANDY YOU ARE FANTASTIC. YOU'RE LIKE A FEMALE VERSION OF US!" Louis yells..... That doesn't really make much sense... I'm not in a band......

"Uhhh... Thanks?" I say 

"You are welcome!" Louis replies, a smile on his face

"Well, if you want. Would you be able to come on tour with these guys as the opening act?" Paul asks.

Then I start blushing.... Again. Wow.... I really blush a lot! " It would be a pleasure!" I say.

'Well then, lets discuss the pay." Simon says. Getting right into business.

"Okay." I say.

"Well" Simon says "We are willing to pay you 4 thousand a show!" 

Now its my turn for my jaw to drop. 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS PER SHOW?!?!?! Jeez Louise....... That's A LOT........ Especially considering I'm going ON TOUR with them. There are over one hundred shows for the 2013 tour..... Woah....

"Are you sure?" I ask, my eyebrows raised.

"Well, we are only willing to go as high as 6 Andrea." Simon replies.

"NONO, I don't mean I want more!" I say "I mean like, are you sure 4 thousand PER show isnt too much?" I ask

"Are you kidding me?" Simon asks chuckling a bit. "The person we had hired in the first place told us that unless we paid her 15 Thousand per show, she was walking out!!!"

Woah.... Some people are GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDY!

"I'd be fine with like, 50 bucks a show!" I say, being completely honest.

"Now Andrea, don't be silly!! We are fine with paying you 4thousand!!!! We will pay you 4 Thousand a show, nothing more, nothing less! Got it?" Simon says, a smile sneaking it's way onto his face.

"Okay... I guess!" I say.

"Well, the meeting is all done then!!! You lads and Andy are free to go!" Paul says.

"Lets. Go SHOPPINGGG!" Louis yells.

Well....... I guess we're going shopping then!!!

Okay guys!!! Now, if I can get 5 more reads, I'll update!!! TOODLES!
